action_plan:

In the extension period project will create Children/Youth-Friendly Spaces/Information Points in target provinces that provide educational counseling such as providing information on formal and distance education opportunities, university examinations, career opportunities for children aged 14-18 besides serving as a psycho-social counseling point including topics such as children’s rights, early child marriages, OSH. The project mainstreamed gender aspects into its interventions and set very clear targets in terms of the percentage of girls and boys to benefit from education and referral services, as well as in terms of the number of mothers to benefit from the project. Gender-sensitive intervention model will continue to be applied to combat and prevent child labour to fulfil the rights of boys and girls, including the right to an education, a healthy childhood, protection from abuse and exploitation, rest and recreation.

title:

Continue promoting education through a direct intervention model among seasonal migrant workers’ children and identify windows of opportunity for tailoring approaches for the withdrawal of children in high-risk age groups: Many stakeholders recognized the project’s success in terms of providing a safe space for children during the harvest season. However, they also noted limitations of the intervention model keeping children between the ages of 14 to 18 at summer social support centres. Factors such as monetary and multidimensional poverty highly influence child labour prevalence in this age group, as it is one way for families to manage poverty and deprivation risk. School feeding and in-kind programmes may have limited effects to reduce children’s engagement in work. In this frame, the project may consider: Tailoring vocational training for children in high school and students who have dropped-out and supporting university preparation studies through in-kind support and other types of scholarships in the case of full attendance to the summer courses Developing a gender-sensitive approach and special training programs for girls who have dropped out of school and are at high risk of child labour and early marriage.
